Swap failed — what happened?
Slippage exceeded — price moved more than your slippage tolerance between quote and execution. Increase slippage tolerance and retry, or swap during lower volatility
Insufficient gas — complex swap routes (multi-hop) require more gas. Ensure your wallet has enough native token for fees
Token tax / reflection tokens — some tokens charge a transfer tax. Set slippage to at least the tax percentage + 1–2%
Liquidity too low — the pair may not have sufficient liquidity for the amount. Try a smaller amount
Output amount was less than quoted
Swap quotes are estimates based on liquidity at quote time. Final output depends on actual price at execution and the slippage tolerance you set. A lower-than-expected output within your slippage tolerance is expected behavior.
Swap is pending for a long time
Search the transaction hash on the block explorer. If it shows "pending," gas was too low — use the speed-up option in Trust Wallet
If the block explorer shows "success" but Trust Wallet still shows pending, pull to refresh or clear the app cache
If your swap is confirmed on-chain but the output amount differs significantly from the slippage-adjusted quote, please gather the following information so we can investigate:
Transaction hash
Input token and amount
Output token and expected vs. received amount
